Venezuela's poor join the march against socialism

The poor and downtrodden, the very people socialists claim to champion, are leading Venezuela's march ..  against socialism.  Both the Washington Post and Reuters see it as a turning point.

This would be the same socialism that has justified its lost freedoms, its expropriation of property, its redistribution of income and its tolerance of a government elite ... because it's to help the poor. The left defends this socialism, whether it's Michael Moore, or Oliver Stone or Naomi Campbell - all because of socialism's supposed good intention to help the poor.

The lefties are now trying to change the terminology.  They want to refer to this as "state capitalism" rather than "socialism".

One of these links should work for some fun...

They're good at alt-speak.

I don't know why non-leftists accommodate leftists in calling them liberals or progressives and I don't know why many call themselves capitalist. The emphasis should be on freedom and not capital so they should call themselves freedomists. Or refer to free enterprise rather than capitalism. Any term that emphasizes freedom.

Meanwhile we have hundreds of thousand marching for it right here in the USA this weekend.
